Abstract: A multi-mode asset tracking and monitoring system and method is provided that enables comprehensive reporting of asset position, status, and alerts. In one embodiment, the multi-mode system and method is based on the addition of a local network monitoring system to a wide area satellite network monitoring system. In this example, the local network monitoring system would add container presence and status monitoring in crowded environments (e.g., within a port facility, on-board a ship, etc.), while the wide area satellite network monitoring system would provide tracking and monitoring coverage when the container is in dispersed environments. Both the local and wide area monitoring systems work together to provide end-to-end container tracking and monitoring to thereby ensure continuous container tracking and monitoring from container loading to container unloading.

Title: Compact shooter localization system and method
Inventor: BARGER JAMES E
IPC: F41H13/00
Filed: 2005-08-11
Granted: 2009-05-19
Abstract: Systems and methods for locating the shooter of supersonic projectiles are described. Muzzle blast signals are neither sought nor required. The system uses at least two sensors, with each sensor having a 3-axis accelerometer. The sensors are spaced apart at least 1 meter and have each a diameter of about one centimeter. The three accelerometer signals of each sensor represent pressure gradients and are processed to find the shockwave arrival angle unit vector, the shockwave arrival time instant and peak pressure. Noise signals seldom cause false detections with this sensing method because the sensors have maximum sensitivity at the high frequency characteristics of shockwaves, while their sensitivity to the low frequency characteristics of ambient noise is relatively low.
